How to set up home gym?

Whats a simple home gym set with up with the least amount of equipment but allows you to do a wide range of workouts?

I know a pull up bar with parallel bars is a staple.

Holocaust denial is illegal in over 18 countries. if an organized killing of jews happened so definitely, why would people need to serve prison sentences for questioning it?

Power Rack, Powerblock Adjustable Dumbbells, Incline Bench, power bar, weights.

Anything else really is just a bonus. Lat pull down machine with an actual weight stack would be ideal, but they're like 4 grand for a nice one. And a pain to set up and move around.

Mostly get a bench press seat, lots of dumbells to the point that you can dumbell press. A squat rack + some machine that could be used to workout hamstrings.

That should do.

Dumbell press works just as well if not better than regular bench press AND you don't need a spotter to lift heavy. No need for an expensive bench press set up.

That said a squat rack is a must.

My basic setup:



Power rack for lifting, Airdyne for cardio. I just have a flat bench. If I was just buying for me I'd have picked up an incline bench. Wife and teenage kids use the equipment, too, and the flat bench is much lighter for them to move around. Would really like a set of adjustable dumbbells, too. Someone who competes will need more equipment, but this works great for me.
